Intersex

Intersex can be said to be a situation where a person is born with conditions which do not show clearly is a male or a female, Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) has come up with a discussion to give a clear education about intersex and how to eliminate shame secrecy and any unwanted surgeries on genital (Bomalaski, 2005).

It’s very hard for people to know whether they are victims of intersex because it is very difficult to analyze what defines a male or a female and come up with a conclusion. For example, it said that some boys are born with small penis whereas girls born long clitoris which may be defined as a way of detecting the intersex but it does not show the clear picture of how small a penis should be for a normal male or what is the extent of a normal clitoris. It’s said that one birth in 100 births does not agree with standard male or female but a number of people receiving surgeries are said to be one or two in one thousand births ((ISNA), 2008).

Currently, ISNA is focusing on creating a free shame world and unwanted surgeries for both children with anatomy and some who have no standard for male or female. People who are said to be intersex do not need to go and find the evidence as the evidence is said to be in their bodies, for example female who have no ovaries or men without testes or women without clitoris or inner labia or people with multi genital operation during their childhood in their abdomen and genitals area sometimes are said to be fairly typical genitals as opposed to what they think they were born with intersex.

ISNA have made people aware of intersex and most Surgeons cannot come up with normal looking genitals even nowadays but it has improved as compared to a few years ago, if you have genitals looking like that of others then it’s said you were born with them.
